Instructions
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, diced apple, dried cranberries, crumbled turkey ham, walnuts, and feta cheese (if using).
- Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Dress the Salad:
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
- Toss and Serve:
- Toss the salad gently to ensure all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
- Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the kale to soften slightly, making it more palatable.
